  1. Has anyone else apart from me wondered why the likes of Jonathan Ball, Usual Suspect and Dutch allow
    Rick Etter's continual denial of the collateral deaths associated with his diet to go unchallenged?

    If you look at a recent discussion between Rick and myself on this issue you'll see there's no doubt
    that Rick denies the fact or possibility that grass fed beef accrues collateral deaths despite
    evidence provided from a list of animals killed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal
    Damage Control Program.

    Nope.

    Yep. They do exist.


    =================
    Nope.

    So, though you insist collateral deaths exist in crop production, you also deny they exist in grass
    fed beef production. Thanks for such an excellent example of a meatarian's state of denial. [end]

    So, why do the antis attack vegans for allegedly denying the collateral deaths associated with their
    diet while ignoring Rick's total denial of the deaths associated with his? I'm not questioning
    anyone's belief of their responsibility for them, but rather the anti's silence while one particular
    regular on these animal related groups goes unchallenged for ever daring to suggest no animals die
    for his food. I believe their CD argument holds a double standard.

    Well, no...I believe I have a good idea why. But then I don't claim to read minds, so I can't say
    I'm 100 per cent sure.... 🙂

    There's no question that there are large numbers of collateral deaths associated with ranching
    and grazing, whether for meat or for wool. Much of the heavy pressure is to kill any predator who
    might attack sheep, and since sheep are much more vulnerable than cattle, predators down to the
    size of foxes and eagles are targeted to help sheep ranchers. Many animals who are not predators,
    but rivals for grass, such as prairie dogs and wild sheep, are also targeted for extermination.
    Ranched and grass-fed domestic animals also remove habitat for wild animals, just as farming of
    vegetables does, although both farming and ranching also provide habitat for certain species of
    wild animals as well. Even if the animals were restricted to buildings and fed harvested grass --
    hay --, CDs would be associated with production of the hay. CDs are a by-product of any diet, but
    the lowest number would probably be produced by raising vegetables in enclosed structures.

    You're undoubtedly wrong. Your very reason for being here at all is based on wrong thinking and a

    [The Animal Damage Control (ADC) program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under
    its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). One of ADC's biggest and most controversial
    activities is killing coyotes and other predators, primarily to protect western livestock.

    Under pressure from ranchers, the U.S. government exterminates tens of thousands of predator and
    "nuisance" animals each year. In 1989, a partial list of animals killed by the U.S. Department of
    Agriculture's Animal Damage Control Program included 86,502 coyotes, 7,158 foxes, 236 black bears,
    1,220 bobcats, and 80 wolves. In 1988, 4.6 million birds, 9,000 beavers, 76,000 coyotes, 5,000
    raccoons, 300 black bears, and 200 mountain lions, among others, were killed. Some 400 pet dogs and
    100 cats were also inadvertently killed. Extermination methods used include poisoning, shooting,
    gassing, and burning animals in their dens. Keith Schneider, "Mediating the Federal War of the
    Jungle," New York Times, July 9, 1991, 4E; Carol Grunewald, ed, _Animal Activist Alert_, 8:3
    (Washington D.C.: Humane Society of the United States,
    1990), 3.

    Two wildlife groups, Wildlife Damage Review, from Tucson, Arizona, and the Predator Project, from
    Bozeman, Montana, asked the Thoreau Institute to audit ADC's program. This audit examines ADC's
    budget in general and focuses in particular on the funds it spends controlling coyotes and other
    livestock predators. The principle findings include:

    1991) ADC's programs are unfairly distributed to selected Americans. A program to protect sunflower
    crops from blackbirds operates in North Dakota to the exclusion of sunflower farmers in
    Minnesota, South Dakota, and other states. The livestock protection program primarily benefits
    western ranchers to the exclusion of most eastern livestock growers.
    1992) ADC's livestock protection program creates perverse incentives for ranchers to use submarginal
    land, to overgraze public land, and to rely on taxpayers rather than actions they could take
    to protect their herds.
    1993) Although ADC has expanded its scope of activities, western livestock protection, which mainly
    means killing coyotes, still accounts for most --53 percent--of its total operational budget.
    1994) Since 75 percent of federal livestock funds are spent on public lands, 40 percent of ADC's
    federal funds are dedicated to the 27,000 ranchers who graze livestock on public lands.
    1995) On-the-ground costs to the federal government of western livestock protection total more than
    $10 million per year. When ADC and APHIS overhead is added, the costs total to more than $13
    million per year. Research costs probably add several more million.
    1996) When state and local contributions are added, ADC kills coyotes at an average cost of well
    over $100 per animal. Costs sometimes exceed $2,000 per animal.
    1997) ADC's livestock-protection mission has apparently failed. In general, states with active ADC
    livestock programs experience higher predator losses than states with minimal or no livestock
    programs. The starkest contrast: Farmers in Kansas, with no federal ADC livestock program,
    suffer significantly lower predation rates than those in neighboring Nebraska and Oklahoma,
    which each spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill thousands of predators each year.]

    Although if Rick wants to insist that the grass fed beef he eats isn't protected by this program, or
    aren't protected by any other program, why haven't you challenged him on his denial of the
    collateral deaths associated with the packing, cold storage, distribution and habitat loss?

    If you have a specific quote to present that shows a double standard then do so.


    I have produced it already and in context at the beginning of this thread.

    If you look at a recent discussion between Rick and myself on this issue you'll see there's no doubt
    that Rick denies the fact or possibility that grass fed beef accrues collateral deaths despite
    evidence provided from a list of animals killed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal
    Damage Control Program.

    Nope.

    Yep. They do exist.

    Nope.

    There you are: proof showing Rick denial of the collateral deaths associated with grass fed beef.

    It doesn't.

    You ignore Rick's denial of the collateral deaths associated with his diet while at the same
    time criticising vegans for denying the collateral deaths associated with theirs, so your
    argument against vegans is a double standard.

    I haven't read Rick's posts about the CDs in his diet, so I can't be consciously ignoring them.

    That dodge won't help you.

    Too late, so why do you ignore Rick's claim that no collateral deaths exist during the production of
    grass fed beef?

    You ignore Rick's denial of the collateral deaths associated with his diet while at the same
    time criticising vegans for denying the collateral deaths associated with theirs, so your
    argument against vegans is a double standard.

    I haven't read Rick's posts about the CDs in his diet, so I can't be consciously ignoring them. I
    don't intend to read them, either. I have only your word to go on that he's doing it, and your
    word is notoriously unreliable.


    ======================
    You haven't missed much except the typical unethical sleaze of twits. he continues to snip the
    pertinent parts of my replies and post his unannotated snips as the complete discussion.

    It doesn't.


    You ignore Rick's denial of the collateral deaths associated with his diet


    =======================
    No, I did not.

    I didn't ask about the beef you eat, because I knew you were going to lie about it by claiming your
    particular grass fed beef is different from all other grass fed beef and doesn't accrue any
    collateral deaths at all, and it seems I was right. So I'll ask again.

    "Do you accept that the *general* production, storage, and distribution of grass fed beef
    accumulates any collateral deaths?"

    ==================
    Nope. You haven't shown that at all.

    I clearly have, because they all let you get away with your claim that no collateral deaths are
    associated with the production of your grass fed beef. That's a double standard.
